Set amid gorgeous scenery, this place is just what its name says: somewhere to meditate, practise yoga, go on nature walks and more – all in total silence. The minimalist ethos stops at the food, however, which is organic and fabulous (included in the US$37 day pass). It's 18km northwest of Tabanan.
